Dear Friends,

I hope you and your loved ones are safe, well, and looking forward to spring. For me, spring is the most inspiring of the seasons. It’s the season of hope.

As you’ll read about in the latest print issue of The Feed, “It’s All Good” at Philabundance right now. 

Though we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, our eyes are focused on a future where our food system works for all communities and everyone has access to nourishing, life-affirming food.

A driving force of this work is our Ending Hunger for Good department. This team seeks to increase the economic stability and food security of our neighbors by addressing the root causes of hunger through sustainable, community-centered approaches. Jamiliyah Foster, the director of Ending Hunger for Good, is profiled here on our blog.

The good continues with Good Pizza for a good cause! We are excited and honored that Ben Berman has asked us to continue and grow his work through our Philabundance Community Kitchen (PCK).

And the good will continue well into the future as we launch our Good Food Policy which reinforces our belief that solving hunger is more than meeting immediate needs. It’s a commitment to the implementation of long-term solutions that will have a lasting impact.

All of that good is just the start of the great work we will be accomplishing in 2022. I thank you for believing in our mission and for being a vital part of this progress.

Read on and remember that when we work together, It’s All Good!

With Gratitude,
